Tablets/mobiles suck donkey scrotum as gaming devices.

They don't have to. Who thought a waggling a stick in front of your television screen would be so compelling? If anyone can make tablet gaming work, it's Nintendo. 

The difference is that Wiimote-style motion controls had never been done before so nobody knew what to expect. We know what to expect from tablets. There's a difference between making something new work well and emulating existing tech but trying to improve it.

Motion controls had been done before, such as the Power Glove, Sega Activator, EyeToy. Wii took that concept and made it better and successful, why is it impossible for the same thing to happen with Nintendo and tablets?
